Prickles, there are several Bicknell mmn Goodwin births in Battersea ( including a Susan). I was working back from that when you beat me to the possible Goodwin / Mason marriage.

Pity Maisie wasn't with her parents on the 1939 register :-)

Thinking about it.......that would mean that the children on the Military Record were born before the marriage in 1915.

On that Military Record......the residence is....19 Broomfield Road, Stockwell

The son Henry's birth registration........

Record has been Mistranscribed. There is one closed record and also there is Alfred G. Goodwin, a Hotel Porter. DOB 29 May 1886

PM sent to Susan, as she's a new poster, to let her know there are replies, and how to answer on here.

PH - a tree on Ancestry says that the Alfred who married Florence was born in Whitechapel - but doesn't offer proof.

Parents unknown to the tree owner.

If adopted as a baby, his first name(s) may also have been changed by his adoptive parents - in which case we have no hope of tracing his birth.

But I agree - I would have thought he would be on the 1901 or 1911 England census.

Susan - have you any idea where in England he was brought up?

I think we need Susan to come back and give us some more information.

Not seeing a birth in Cork for an Alfred George. If he was "brought" to England you would expect him to be a minor or young adult and appear on the 1911 census or even an earlier census.

Or maybe not - this could be the same person in 1911 - impossible to tell:

Who were his adopted parents?

Have you found him on any census records?

What is the name of your parent...who is the child of Alfred George Goodwin?

My Grandfather was born in Cork his surname was Quinn but he was adopted and taken to England.
I am trying to find out where he was actually born and when. His adopted name was Alfred George Goodwin. He died in 1968 or 67 around 80 years old.
